What's the price difference between the two, what games are you playing, and is it the 3080 10G or 12G?

Whatever is cheaper, brand does not matter in most instances.

OK, what is the price difference between the cards you're looking at?

I personally find Nvidia cards to be significantly more stable, especially if you're playing older titles. So. That's what I'd go with.

I'd go with a 7800xt because you're going to get the 16gb of vram and a warranty. 

FSR is getting good.

 

Will you be streaming or doing anything that requires cuda?

Certain productivity software. Like some AI image generators that run locally can utilize it. If you don't know then you probably won't ever use it. 

Both have good video encoders for steaming.

I say go for the 7800xt.

I hear the Sapphire Pulse is well designed.

Can you find a 7909gre for cheap? Where do you live (country)
 

Used cards are always a good option (and less ewaste  )

The brands don’t matter too much tbh, and if hes in the US he can save ~10$ and go with the ASrock challenger, which should be just as good
 

Also, we should check case dimensions before this gets out of hand

Depends. Some brands don't handle warranties and RMA well. Sapphire has a good reputation.

Asrocks also fine with that. I think they both have similar failure rates

is the 48£ price difference acually significant in terms of performance?
